Thanks if you can help

Your local 80/20 distributor should have them. The tube is $0.13 an inch (it is a special square extrusion with ridges on the inside of the tube, which I assume increase the strength of the connection) and the connector price varies depending on which one you get (straight through, t connection, 6-way, etc), but they all are between $2 and $3 each. My copy of the 80/20 price list is from last March so prices may have changed a tad, but these numbers should be pretty close.
